Elon Musk Ends 2023 Revisiting His $1M ‘Vanity Trophy’ NFT
Elon Musk recently revisited his 2021 NFT venture by questioning the fate of his musical NFT on his social media platform “X”.
Whatever happened to …
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk)
6:21 AM • Dec 27, 2023
In March 2021, Musk considered auctioning a tweet as an NFT featuring a song about NFTs, receiving a bid over a whopping $1 million.
However, at the last minute, Musk chose not to sell the NFT because "it didn't feel right to sell this particular digital artwork."
The NFT in question included a song and video clip highlighting NFT culture with a "Vanity Trophy" adorned with the terms "NFT" and "HODL”.
This news underscores the fluctuating nature of the NFT market and the personal values of creators in the digital art space.
In the upcoming year, he might reconsider and decide to sell the asset after all…
Sotheby's Prepares for the New Year with Starry Night Auction
Starting next year on a high note, Sotheby's Starry Night auction will display over 300 works from the Three Arrows Capital-affiliated Starry Night collection from January 23 to 30 — an extension of the GRAILS collection's success.
Starry Night includes works from renowned digital artists like XCOPY, Beeple, and Alpha Centauri Kid, focusing on unique pieces and pioneering generative AI art.
Vincent Van Dough, a pseudonymous collector, curated the 2021 collection for Three Arrows Capital, showcasing a diverse array of digital art.
The collection amassed over $20 million in 2023 and featured Dmitri Cherniak’s Ringers #879 (The Goose), which sold for an impressive $6.2 million, surpassing its high estimate.
Key pieces in the forthcoming auction include Otherworld's "The Garden", Alpha Centauri Kid's "til death do us part", Kjetil Golid's "Iterations II", and Helena Sarin's "K-Meanearest Neighbors".
